O u r C e n t r eMalvern House Dublin is located in the centre of Dublin city on Dame Street. We are across

from the Central Bank, and beside Trinity College and Grafton Street, the main shopping area. Ideally located for easy access to public transport systems you will be able to see Dublin and

its lively and vibrant streets that exude culture and history. With a population of just over 1 million Dublin has a cosmopolitan and modern feel and has repeatedly been voted Europe’s

friendliest city by Tripadvisor.

Ireland is an island located in Western Europe and is surrounded by oceans and seas. Close to Dublin you can visit long beaches, ancient castles, monasteries, falling mountains and

mystical stone-age Celtic sites. However it is our expectation smashing landscapes, geologi-cal richness and a canvas of cloud effects that makes Ireland one of Europe’s top tourism

and educational destinations. Ireland is a country where the English language has been at the forefront of creative writing, poetry and playwrights for generations.
